Fuddruckers is damn good. Unfortunately, they closed all of them around here. i don't know why.

I've been traveling to North Jersey weekly as of late, and they have one up there that I went to last week. Had an elk burger, and it was pretty awesome.

They have smashburgers all over the place. haven't been to one yet, but I hear it's pretty good.

As for Red Robin, their fries suck. So, that almost rules them out entirely. IMO that is.

Applebee's has a pretty awesome "quesedilla burger". Just had that the other day.

I hate eating at chain restaurants, but when you travel, sometimes its the only option.

My wife and I went to Smashburgers once. Our burgers were half beef and half salt. We both have a fairly big taste for salt, but these burgers were more than we could handle. No one else in the restaurant seemed to be looking at their own food strangely. So either our burgers were messed up, or the other people were even more addicted to salt than we are. We haven't been back.

Yeah, Red Robin fries suck, all "insides" with little browning on the outside. They're more like lightly fried potatoes than deep fried french fries. And their burgers are bland; they need a lot of extras on them.

The Applebee's Quesadilla Burger is decent for a non-bun-type burger.

Of course all this is just an opinion.

I just rememberEd that in Japan, there was a chain called Mos Burger. They had a "spicy mos cheeseburger" that was delicious. The jalapeños were what made it spicy. It was also really messy. Now I look for whatever burger with jalapeños I can find, but none can match that one.

Blech! Their regular burgers are pretty terrible. I tried it once when I was desperate and it was horribly disappointing. There was a local restaurant near us that was owned by an American service member and his Japanese wife called OMG Burger. It was about a 40 minute drive from my place and it was amazing! Sadly he just PCS'd and had to close for a while, but he's planning on moving back and reopening as soon as he can.

My favorite fast food burger though will always be Whataburger. Love that place!

In Japan, I went to McDonald's once and had a McTeriaki burger. I kid you not.

It was pretty good, by fast food standards, but we got a laugh at the name.

Thanks for the 411. Maybe I _won't_ be going there then. I'm not a big fan of salt.
